We should be all extremely concerned that Gaza and the West Bank has fallen off the news agenda.
Since the so called ceasefire Israel has killed 1000 Palestinians and banned over 30 well respected humanitarian orgs. Gaza is also grappling with flooding, high winds & extreme cold.

Yes Soho was rawer and dirtier back then and sure you could rent some dilapidated place in Balham for a few hundred quid a month but honestly... this city has never been as good as this in those 31 years.
